bivouac by seismolosit - All Impaktor Track

"10 or so tracks of impaktor (iOS drum synth) released yesterday by beepstreet. played a bunch of stuff into ableton, then rode the faders and mutes for a while. massaged with some ableton fx.

i am a terrible percussionist."

via Dan Kirkhus on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge: "Here's an all-Impaktor track I assembled today. Kudos to BeepStreet, Impaktor is easily the best $5 I've spent on the iPod."

Nina building a Synthacon style filter

YouTube Published on Sep 11, 2012 by Zoë Blade

"A time lapse video of Nina building a Synthacon style filter. It's the Elby Designs Panther series version of the Ken Stone design, or CGS735 for short. ("Catgirl Synth", apparently.)

We had to modify it a little afterwards to get it to work correctly, putting C211 in the other way around and replacing two of the diodes with jumper wires."

Analogue Solutions Telemark-K

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"This synthesizer was built by Tom J. Carpenter of Analogue Solutions.... This is the real thing... 100% Analog. It's filters, particularly it's LP and Notch are incredible. This machine has endless sound possibilities both as a standalone mono synthesizer and as a controller for external modular, analog or midi equipment...

Note: a new Telemark-k lists for $1935.00 (without patch cables). This would be the easiest way to acquire this beautiful synthesizer for $300-400 less than other seller offers.

Here's a more specific rundown of its features from Analogue Solutions site:

KEY FEATURES OF TELEMARK-k
•Pure analogue voice & modulation circuitry.
•MIDI In / Out / Thru
•Patch points to allow more sound types, and to cross-patch with your modular synths
•SEM type sound.
•Similar SEM layout.
•More features than the original SEM such as Sample and Hold, LFO Square wave, Noise, extra inputs, many more signal modulation options via rotary switches.
•Plenty of modulation possibilities
•Rugged steel construction.
•MIDI In for software sequencer / keyboard control.
•LCD to edit MIDI set-up.
•No patch memories! You can be original each time you create a sound.

Raspberry Pi on the iPad

Thought this was an interesting note on the iPad via the Raspberry Pi Synthesizer blog:

"I just ran up Piana - actually Polyana as she wasn't running on a Pi - on an iPad for the first time, and deliberately used my old 1st generation iPad to make sure the comparison wasn't grossly unfair, just highly unfair. And even so, the performance and in particular the low latency on the iPad is remarkable. 8 voices, only consuming around 50% of the CPU, and insanely low latency.

None of which is that surprising - iOS has been carefully engineered to allow low latency audio apps to be delivered, the iPad has I think an 800MHz A8, so should be approaching 2x faster than the Pi across the board. But really, latency this low and 8 voices, with ultra-short buffers so much more CPU overhead per packets delivered out of the synth. It creamed it.

All of which means I just need to find ways to get the Pi to live up to its promise - an 800 MHz ARM 11 should be delivering a lower latency experience than I am getting, so more digging in needs to be done, maybe into tuning the Linux up. But now I know what it should play like, and if I can get there it will be awesome, because on the iPad it is awesome."
